No System.Deployment.Application available

Question

I'm trying to get the Publish version like given in:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/e01c2163-41a0-4bc0-80b8-79ae79db2bbb/

Apparently I can't access  System.Deployment.Application, only  System.Deployment.Internal..... 

Has anyone an idea how's that possible?

BTW I'm using VB2010 Xpress.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Pete,
Did you add the reference System.Deployment.dll in your project?
Click add Reference, open .NET tab and select System.Deployment.
If you still have any doubt and concern about this issue, please let us know.

Hi Bob,

Thank you, that was the trick. I wasn't aware that was required.

You should also check ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed before accessing any of the deployment properties. This ensures that it is running as a ClickOnce app.
